by Lg Williams (Contribution by), Julia Friedman (Editor), Dave Hickey (Author)

Dust Bunnies gathers the fragments Dave Hickey scattered across social media between June 2014 and March 2015. During that time, he posted nearly 3,000 comments, sparking over 700,000 words in response from admirers, skeptics, and the merely curious. Wasted Words, the companion volume, presents the full, unedited transcript of these sprawling debates. Dust Bunnies distills Hickey's voice to its sharpest edge-aphorisms lifted from the fray and preserved as compact sparks.

Unlike Wasted Words, grounded in context and exchange, Dust Bunnies emphasizes the timeless bite of Hickey's style. Always provocative and often outrageous, his pronouncements thrive in this concise form. In a sly twist, the critic once known for long, incendiary riffs proves equally lethal in the jab-like idiom of social media, firing cultural shrapnel back at the digital natives who thought they owned the medium.
